Is the this assigned parking? I'd be worried that someone knows which car belongs to which apartment, and is "marking" you car to see if it moves. If the status of your car doesn't change for a few days, they assume that you are on vacation and then break into your home.

LOL - funny how things can be so opposite sometimes - to my mind a car being unmoved for days means the owner is home, the sign the owner was away was if the vehicle was gone. I can go 2-3 weeks without needing to drive anywhere - I take public transportation to work, and tend to shop within walking distance of my home, and if I'm going out socially as often as not I want to drink, so I walk, take public transportation or a cab.

Along with what many others have said, I'd like to suggest, if possible, to place a hidden camera/dash cam somewhere and use the video evidence to catch the culprit(if you're parked in a blind spot for the security camera that is, if one is there at all).

EEE! You're the only person besides my family I've ever heard use the word hanyak!!!

it's in the Urban Dictionary--my father used it all the time, and NOBODY that I knew outside my family had ever heard it. All the online sources (that I saw today when I went to look up how it is spelled) said it is of Polish origin.

Finishing the off-topic aside, I read it and said to myself, "Oh, that's surely a Polish derogatory term!" even though I didn't directly recognize it. Now I'm wondering if someone in my mostly Polishy family used it sometime back in the day and I stored it away without realizing it.

I do think there's a possibility that the bottles are being used as some sort of marker for potential theft, if the spot is tied to a unit number. It wouldn't surprise me, at any rate.

I'd have a little fun with this just to see what happens. Start leaving something on your antenna when you leave the car, like a bow, a balloon, an AA flyer, maybe even a small sack with a cookie in it. Put a wad of holiday tissue paper under the door handle (maybe add a bow there too). If the problem is just undirected vandalism, perhaps the culprit will realize they're dealing with another human being and feel enough shame to stop.
